AUG. 2 - -On the afternoon of Saturday last, the 30 th . of July, the Bth and 9th regiments, with a party of Chapel gorris, embarked t n.ler the command of - Colonel Gdfrey, of the Bth Regiment, „ !‘oard his Majesty's steamer Ph(e , Captain Henderson. and .!'c Isabella 11., Commodore klenry. The object of the expea 'Jonis understood to be to strengthen the garrison of Santandi:7 during retro grade movement of Gomez and his band front . the (lallicia, and, probably, to make an attempt to cut off and captii:"" tllelih A painful scene occurred at the time of embarkaC'" . There were arrears of pay due to the Bth Regiment, in which, as related in former letters, symptoms of disunion had al,.eady reigned on this account ; but this had been promptly subdued by the firmness and popularity of the commanding illicer, ,Colonel Godfrey. When, however, the men were marci;....d down towards the Mole, in order to em bark, they evinced an immillingness to do so, unless they should he previously paid up. An extraordinary effort had been made to provide the fonds for doing so, and the men were told that the money was on board, or yould be so im mediately ..fter they should arrive there. This, however, did not satisfy them ; and notwithstanding the soldier-like remonstrances of Colonel Godfrey, and the no less manly and judicious reasonings of Colonel Wylde, his Britannic Majesty's Commissioner, who, dressed in plain clothes, re monstrated energetically, they doggedly refused to move. They were not insolent, but coolly argued the point, and declared that they had been too often deceived by promises to rely on them now. Whatever right the men may have had to complain of having been so kept in arrear, it was revolting to see them so perfectly callous to every consi deration by which the feelingi of soldiers may generally be wrought upon. This state of things lasted for some time, a part of the regiment at length was induced to march on to the Mole ; hut there they stopped short. Colonel God frey spoke to them again, promising that their pay would be given to them on board ; and with - the indignation na tural to a veteran officer, said that this was the first time his word was doubted, as it now appeared to be. A tall, thoughtful-looking soldier at last said to those around him, " Take the Colonel at his word ;" this produced a move, and the embarkation took place in good order. They were paid up all their arrears previously to sailing accord ing to promise. The other regiment (the 9th) composed chiefly of Irish men, and very fine looking fellows, behaved admirably ; they marched down and embarked with the utmost order and cheerfulness ; and, at one time, when a part of the Bth made an attempt to go back, they scoffed at and re proved them. I mentioned to you in a former letter that the 6th regi ment had displayed a very obstinate feeling upon the sub ject of the expiration of:,their year's service. Investigations have since been going ; and. where special agreements have beett.prove to been. entered into, for only one year, the claim has been admitted ; but when otherwise, it has been intimated to tiv, , men that they w. dhe expected to continue to serve until the 10th of uhe next, up to which date alone the enlisting of British subjects in the Queen of Spain's service is allowed by the Order in Coun cil. About 150 of alp. , mac. tia•;,, 6 declared that • they would refuse to do duty' - after the 31st, they were disarmed and-marebed up to the castle, there to remain until they shall either be embarked for Erland, or brought to a sense of their duty. But on Sunday a very unpleasant business occurred. The 6th belongs to Brigadier Fitzgerald's brigade ; that officer had all the -troops under his command drawn up on Sunday ; and having had three or four of the known ringleaders in the late undisciplined scenes tried by regi mental court-martial, by which they were sentenced to re ceive a certain number of lashes each, the drummers, on being ordered to inflict the punishment, refused. Col. Fitzgerald then addressing the commanding officer of the 3d, or Westminister Grenadiers, asked if lie could depend upon his men ? and upon receiving an answer in the affir mative, he gave the word to the 3d to prime and load ; the men of the 6th looked rather crest-fallen at this, but re covered at seeing that the 3d did not obey the order, which was peremptorily repeated without effect ; the Gth then set up an insulting laugh! and Colonel Fitzgerald retired. That there is a most extensive plot to demoralize, not only the men of the BritiSli Legion, but also those belong ing to the regular Spanish regiments, becomes daily more evident. I am sorry to say that, notwithstanding all General Evans's indefatigability to see his men properly provided for, I doubt exceedingly whether the supplies can be kept up eve❑ to a moderate point. The payment of 1,2001. sterling to the Bth Regiment, on the 30th of July, left the military chest empty ; and there does not seem to be any probability of its replenishMent being practicable 'At present. General Evans is better ; but the innumerable causes of annoyance - by which he surrounded, continue to retard his complete recovery. He has been most hardly dealt by, in more quarters than one. The aspect of the Legion is at the present. moment gloomy —very gloomy. I hope it may brighten ; hut the elements of which it is composed cannot be brought into wholesome play, unless every engagement be kept with the men ; and if this cannot be done, my opinion is, that a settlement should by every effort be attempted (it' neces sary) by an appeal for assistance to the British Government. It is reported that seventeen Carlist battalions are march ing, under the command of Villareal himself, to attack Bernelle's division, near Zubiri.—Morning Paper.

Saturday an inquest was held at the Buffalo's Head", New-road, on the body of Mr. James Ricketts, a respectable tradesman, aged 46, who was killed on Thursday, in conse quence of being run over by a cab, the horse having run away -while the cabman was cleaning the cab. The jury made some strong remarks on the impropriety of cabmen cleaning their horses and cabs in the public streets. Verdict " Accidental death." Deodand of 40s. on the cab and horse.

LONDON, moxnAy EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1836. This evening the Stamp Bill goes into Committee in the Lords, when, as a matter of course, the ob novimie rpg;ctrntinn rinnep w;11 r,o atruolr not AR.WhOlly unnecessary. Indeed, the wonder is how such a clause, so inquisitorial in its nature, and so repugnant to the principles of free trade, should have been per mitted by the Government to creep into the Bill. Its obvious tendency is to fetter the Press by exposing all the proprietors of, or shareholders in, Newspapers, to the grasping cupidity of unprincipled pettifogging at tornies for costs in imputed libels, or to satisfy the cu riosity of busy-body dealers in scandal. And are thes. matters for grave legislation, that unworthy motives may be gratified ? Surely not. But it has been said that the rejection of this clause will endanger the Bill. This is not correct, for (though a Money Bill) the clause is not a money clause, and may be safely expunged. After all, the question of privilege rests with the House of Com mons, which can either assert or modify it at pleasure. Ministers will therefore do wisely by blinking the matter, for the clause is none of their creation, though heedlessly adopted. The loss of the Bill for the sake of such a clause would be trifling with the best hopes of the country, and be more fatal to the wishes of certain parties than they at present contemplate. The Lords Amendments on the Municipal Corpo rations Act Amendment Bill, are to be taken Into consi deration to-night by the Commons. This Bill bears strong marks of having passed through their Lord ships' hands. It is pretty considerably" mangled and mutilated ; and by this process, as well as by the introduction of the clause to which we alluded a day or two ago, for replacing the charitable funds under the management of the old Corporators, has been ren dered totally unfit to become the law of the land. It is utterly impossible that a reformed House of Com mons should think of passing such a Bill. It would, in fact, be playing the game of the To ries in the most effectual manner imaginable. That scheming and unprincipled tribe have a deep purpose to serve, by the crooked and tricky course they are pursuing with regard to this and other mat ters. They have never had any political support in the towns but that which they derived from corrup tion. Of this they are well aware. The charitable funds were of course not lie!d sacred when the good cause of Toryism was in question. Any freeman who woul(1 vote or, had - voted for the Tory ; candidate was considered g proper object of charity: No one else had a chance of getting,the least relief; were he ever so destitute. If a poor man applied for a share of the fund which had been set apart expressly for his use and benefit, the applicant was asked the question. " Whom (lid you vote for at the last election ?" If the vote had been given for the right man, the money was handed over instantly with a smile of approbation. But - woe to the unfortunate wight whom truth compelled to confess that he had voted for the " Liberal Candidate." He was told, with a Jack-in-office sneer, to go to the " Liberal Can didate" for his reward. Such was the system universally acted upon when the Corporations were managed by Tories. The gros s Est - perversion of the funds—the most shameless abuse of the charitable trusts were openly practised. And this is the system which the Tory Lords are now manceuvring to continue a little longer—only for another year—a short twelvemonth—that is all they want; and, in the mean time, should they contrive to bring about the necessity for a general election, (and such a thing has happened before now), they will have no cause to regret that their partizans are still charitable trustees. Will the Commons allow this scheme to, take effect? Will they allow themselves to be nade the instrument of this Tory iniquity ? We are sure they will not. They will reject the hateful and insidious clause with out hesitation, a nd if th e Lo r d s th row ou t th e Bill, on their heads be the consequences. The whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Satur day have been received. The Moniteur of Friday officially announces the dismissal of CORDOVA from the command of the Spanish army. The late General in-Chief s disgrace is partially veiled by the pretext that he voluntarily forwarded his resignation to the Minister of War, alleging that the state of his health would not permit him to lead his troops to victory. His successor is General SAARSFIELD, an old man of feeble physical powers and very precarious health, but withal a brave officer, well known to and greatly be loved by the army entrusted to his command. We regret that Spain, among her four thousand generals, is not so fortunate as to be able to find one worthy of being placed at the head of the army, who unites with 1 undaunted courage great presence of mind, unbending , resolution, sagacity, and a high sells,: of military ho- 'I nour, the self-denying habits, the robust health, and the I, disciplined martial demeanour of officers cradled in a camp, and familiar with success. A well-earned mi litary fame will more than compensate for the want of health in a General, even in a field of battle ; but we beg to remind the Spanish Minister of War, that the heroes from among whom his selections must be made, are not precisely the sort of men who success fully take the field in a litter. Besides the above important intelligence, the Moni teur of Friday contains the following from Spain :- " (In the 28th oh. Gomez endeavoured to penetrate into Oviedo, but the inhabitants repelled him, and he proceeded towards the mountains of Leon. General Meer has taken up a position upon time Santandar road to prevent his return. Ge • neral Villareal, at the head of fifteen battalions and seven pieces of cannon, made an attempt upon Zubiri and Linzoain, but was repulsed. General Beruelle hastened from Puento la Reyna, and on the Ist instant, with nine battalions only, he attacked and completely 'defeated Villareal, and drove him back upon Ulzatna. In this affair the Carlists had 200 men killed, 100 made prisoners, and a great number wounded. General 13ernelle had only 40 killed and 100 wounded, al though the ground was very disadvantageous. His new Polish cavalry conducted themselves admirably, and greatly contri buted to the success of this brilliant action." The substance of the latter part of the above commu nication appeared in the Journal de Paris of Thurs day, and was repeated in our columns of Saturday. But as it is now accompanied with other statements of facts, all tending to show that the Carlists begin to lose ground in every direction, we have thought it bet ter to give it entire. At an early hour on Friday the King of NAPLES, and his uncle, the Prince of SALERNO, arrived at Neuilly. The royal visitors were cordially received by the KING and QUEEN of the French, and all the Members of the Royal Family. The object of his . . . Neapolitan MAJESTY, in visiting Paris, is variously . reported. By some it is thought that he is come to demand one of the two unwedded French Princesses in marriage ; by others that he has some plans to pro pose relative to the fate of his Royal sister and niece, the Regent and Queen of SPAIN,; while others still will have it that he means to upset the French Cabi net, to revenge himself upon M. TIIIERS for his cruelty to his sister the Duchess de BERRI. Of course such rumours are 'not more natural on such an occa giOns titan they are unworthy of serious regard. The question of active intervention in .Spain again occupies the attention of the French Government. The KING is still opposed to the measure, and M. TILLERS is as convinced as ever lie was of its ultimate pegeonty. A sort of compromise has been the con sequence of this difference of opinion. The ICING has consented to allow every encouragement to be given to volunteers about to enter the QUEEN'S service, and to augment BERNELLE'S division to 20,000 effective troop, and with this concession the Foreign Minister is to rest eontented for the present. PARIS, APGVST 5..... The Phcanix English steam-boat, which arrived at St. Sebastian on the 29th of July, coming; from Santander, brought the Report of the Governor of Gijon on the expedition of Gomez, of which we spoke yesterday. This Report, of which we quote the principal passages, confirms all that we said of the march of Gomez from Santiago to Oviedo, whore he must have arrived on the 28th :-" The.re treat of Gomez is therefore due, either to the cold reception which he met with in Galicia, or to the demonstration of the inhabitants of the province of Pontevedra ; and if he has sue ' seeded in avoiding the Queen's troops, his troops have, never. theless, expericcead losses far above 400 men, who were formerly taken prisoners from the Christinos, and incorporated within the ranks' of the; Carlists, but took the opportunity to abandon them, and went to Corunna. Gomez, however, could not be stopped on his return to Oviedo, because General Manso has left that city and gone to Astorgo, in order to proceed to Burgos to intercept the re treat of Basilio Garcia, who, after having pushed to Sepal ' veda, where he was on the 23d, fell back on the 24th to Pen. nadel, intending without doubt to pass the Douro, and to avoid meeting with the return of the column of Aspiroz, which had arrived at Aranda, This retreat of Basilio Garcia has caused the pr6par..tionwto bo ausponchzd which were making to leave La Grsnja, and have allayed the fears Conc e i ve d th e re.- Messa9er, August 6. iItENCII FIINDS.-Psats, AUGUST 5.

New Orleans journals to the 20th of June state that the war between Mexico and Texas is about to be renewed with the greatest fury on both sides, • As soon as the Texians had made SANTA ANNA prisoner, the provision -I . Government sent Commissioners to Mexico to negociate an exchange of prisoners. The Mexican Authorities at once ordered them to be seized and imprisoned as rebels, declaring that if injury was done to SANTA ANNA, they would be instantly put to death. The Provisional President of the Mexican Republic, ANTONIO MONTAZA, also published a de cree, dated the 20th May ; in the name of the General Congress, stating that Congress would appeal to the patriotism of the Mexican people, to enable it to conquer the Texians—to restore the PRESIDENT to liberty and adding that it would not regard as va• lid any act performed by the PRESIDENT dur , ring his captivity. Another decree commands that in the daily orders of the Army words shall he inserted to the Ala, that an such a day (21st of April, 1836), Don ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA, Pre sident-General of the Mexican Republic, was made pri soner while fighting to preserve the integrity of national territory. Our sympathies are in favour of the Texians, pro vided their object be to elevate their State into a separate and independent Government. But we cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that se veral States of the American Union are spur ring on the people of Texas to renounce all con nection with Mexico, in order to induce them sub sequently to become slave factors for the Lynch-law liberals of the Southern States. Fortunately Congress has not yet taken upon itself to decide the contest between Mexico and Texas. Our Government will therefore have ample opportunities of ascertaining in what way the Texians propose to employ the inde pendence for which they are now preparing to fight. Madrid continued subject to the rigours of martial law on the 29th—the date of the latest communications received direct from the Spanish capital. But not withstanding the bloom which the operation of a strict military surveillance had cast over the countenances of the humbler classes of citizens, the news of COR DOVA'S disgrace was received by them with acclamations of joy. The most, desponding were all at once filled with presages of victory. 'STURM, who but the day previous was spoken of as an intriguing adventurer, was all at once raised to the highest pedestal of patriotism, and his calumniators were called upon to look up to him with wonder and reverence, as one of the deliverers of Spain. We wish not to detract from the merits of the President of the Council. CORDOVA'S disgrace is the triumph of ~the cause of Constitutional Liberty and the QUEEN. The electionslare much more favourable to ISTURIZ than was supposed at first. He calculates on a re spectable majority in the Cortes. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received Quebec papers to the 10th July. They state :—. '6 The arrivals from Upper Canada announce the continued and almost uninterrupted termination of the elections in favour of the Constitutional candidates. Returns are now coming in from the western districts. The complaint of the want of rain still continues amongst the inhabitants, though the showers of Wednesday did some good. UPP3II CANADA, KINGSTON, JULY 1.--THE ELECTIONS.— It is with feelings of high satisfaction we acknowledge that our dismal forebodings in respect to the result of the present contest in the country in this vicinity, have not been realized ; on the contrary, the most decided success has attended the constitutional cause. We stop the publication of the Whig to announce that Messrs. Bidwell and Parry have resigned the contest. "DINNER IN HONOUR OF SIR FRANCIS BOND HEAD AND THE PEOPLE OF UPPER CANADA.—A meeting took place this after noon (July Bth) in the Sessions Hall, for the purpose of taking preliminary steps to give a public dinner in honour of his Ex cellency the Constitutional Governor of Upper Canada, and the loyal people of the sister province. The meeting was composed of a number of the most respectable persons of Quebec. John Neilson was called to the Chair, and moved that the said dinner take place on the anniversary of the, battle of Lundy's Lano, Monday, July 25th, when the militia of Upper Canada distinguisned themselves in defence of their King and country. A committee was then appointed to make the no. cessary arrangements." Hafifax papers to the I9th Julnee Edward's Island papers the Oth July, St, John's, and New Brunswick, to the uth July, have bean reeelved. The Prince Edward Island papers state, that " Resolutions passed at a meeting of the delegates of the people of Prince Edward's Island, held at the Commercial Hotel, Charlotte town, on the Wlth Juno 1— " fiesolvod, that the majority of the present House of As sembly have not actually represented the interests of the pen pia, as stated in numerous petitions to said House; therefore petitions be got ut) in a regular and open manner, praying the Governor on hts arrival to dissolve the present House of Assembly, and to summon a new House at the earliest con venient season." Our arrivals this morning are two French, two Ostend, and one Dutch mails; also a mail from Halifax sailed, according- to the Post•ofco list, July 30.

The close of the season, which took place on Saturday evening, was in all respects a brilliant one. The audience was the most numerous and fashionable collected on any nig ht during its continuance, and all seemed determined to enjoy t ° the utmost the gratifications from which for a few month s they were • about to part. I Puritani and Beonywsky, the established 'favourites of the season, were the pieces per formed, and if the supposition (lid not seem ex t ravagan t that new impressions could be given after such frequent repetition* we should say that Bellini's opera, in the hands of the "il l ' comparable four," disclosed beauties which, if not absoluteli new, bad all the effect of novelty in the excitement they pr ° !, dueed. All-w ere i n exce ll ent vo i ce, but particularly Ur'st and Rubini, and tasked themselves to the utmost finish and re finement, as if resolved to be remembered long after tbeY have quitt e d us . I n t hi s combination has lain the gl'el , strength of Laporte's present. campaign, and it has give ° vigour to all his operations, amidst great neglect of those other attractions of new and good operas on which managers generally depend. Panegyric has been nearly ex hausted on this splendid quartett ; but it has not yet been re" marked, as a source of its beauty and perfection, how admira bly the quality of eac h vo i ce ass i m il ates to the rest, so that the notes are carried down in one uniform gradation, from the extreme compass of Grisi's soprano to the depths, the dee? beyond the " lowest deep," of Lablache's bass. No more p_ feet means h ave ex i ste d i n art of producing the highest ego' of which vocal music is susceptible. After the opera, the na tional anthem was given, in better style than is usual with fo reign artists, who are often confounded by its extreme simPli' city, and, to'conceal their want of power to express it, cilia' whelm it with the excess of misplaced and meretricious cone' ment ; Grisi adhered to the simple manner, but gave a magn i i ficent shake, whi c h wou ld h ave made wrong right, on one o f her closes ; and the little timid Assandri, by her very timidity' made a great impression. The audience stood as usual dual the performance, an d presented A. - spectacle, as every JO knows, the finest of the kind in the world. The attraction of the ballet department in this season, Irks that of the opera, centred mainly in four performers, Made" moiselles Romain and Carlotta Grisi, with Perrot a nd Gout' tou ; but we must not place them quite in the same category not to mention that the art itself ought to stand in the sam e rank. The sub scr ib ers , h owever, are fortunate in having ob tained so much talent in the corps de ballet, and wilt long O ra ,: ber among their pleasurable recollections the " Cracoviena! ) i of Mademoi se ll e R oma i n, w i t h the Tarantella of C. 61:1:y and Perrot.
